Description

Get a sneak peek into Tracy Darnton's forthcoming YA Thriller Ready or Not, ahead of publication this May...

Shared family holidays at Creek House have been the backdrop to Millie’s summers since forever. Hanging out with the other kids – Matt, Charlie, Jem and her best friend Kat – has made it her favourite time of the year.

But this holiday things are different – the childhood games that once filled their days have lost their appeal to everyone except Millie. It’s not until the final night that the others agree to a game of hide and seek. But in the time it takes Millie to count to twenty, Kat vanishes.

One year on, and struggling to come to terms with the events of last summer, Millie persuades the others to return to Creek House. It’s meant to give them closure, but it could be a chance to find out what happened. After all, people don’t just disappear, do they?

Even though I was only able to read the first chapter of Ready or Not, I can safely say that I'm glad that I've been introduced to a book that I can look forward to in the coming months. Naturally, the title is what intrigued me, and it plays in well to what seems to be a main theme of the book, the childhood game of hide and seek. There is no way of telling where this book will end up, but I can guarantee that I will end up enjoying it. Recently, there is nothing I have been loving more than a mystery surrounding high school level aged characters, I feel like they are a much easier read that those surrounding adults, and they take far less time to get into and finish.
